During our round trip through Morocco we have stayed in Riad Casa Lila in Essaouira and it was one of the most beautiful places we have been to.

The Riad is located in the centre of Essaouira, very close to the sea and all the sights. It was also easy to find. You don't need any guide (you can save the money).

The rooms in the Riad were very lovely decorated and spacious. Every room is different, but we have seen some, and we liked all of them. Great colours, lovely bathrooms made in tadelakt and great lights.

The courtyard is very nice - so you have the chance to sit down there and relax, there is also nice music in the background.

The roof terrace is brialliant - although you don't have a view on the sea. But we loved taking our breakfast there, which was always delicious (esp. the self-made tomato-jam).

The staff was friendly, even though we have met more friendly staff during our trip. But there was nothing really to complain about.

So I highly recommend this Riad for a stay in Essaouira. I would go there again, if I would have the chance.

  • Liked — the decoration of the whole riad, but esp. i loved the bathrooms
  • Disliked — nothing really....

We had a very warm welcome from all the staff and they were all very helpful throughout the trip. Inside, the riad is a very tranquil place to be and the individuality of each of the rooms is a nice touch, retaining many of the original features. As a group of three we took two rooms and couldn't complain about either. While there is no restaurant for main meals the breakfasts are great for foodies wishing to try local breads etc.

Casa Lila is in a fantastic location and very easy to find, especially if you are coming on the bus from Marrakech. The riad is an easy walk into the main Medina of the town.

Highly recommended.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Each room had its own hip Moroccan flavor. It was very clean. The hotel owner was a great resource. We had a great room with a private roof terrace. Breakfast was included and it was very tasty. The Riad is very conveniently placed in the medina.

Stayed there 2 years ago (different owners). Place was better then. This time was OK, but just. Place generally not as clean as it used to be, staff: generally not super helpful, breakfast: very average. We arrived late because of a delayed bus and were welcomed by a 'you're late' from night staff in smoked-filled entrance. Yuk. Unfortunate because the place itself has a lot of potential. Whole experience could be much much nicer.
Definitely would not go back.
